With Euphoria

You can get carried away
     with euphoria, drop

quickly to dysphoria
          land

on the pavement with glass

B R E A T H E

or land
   in heaven
      with
          a jolt

jittery the whiskers
on
    a
      lone
             rabbit

watching you spill your guts
once
pristine
to
the point
of
fame

Whether quite sad or happy
quiet your soul
pay attention 
to the road
in front of you
to the red light
N O T

the bright light

C O M P O S E  yourself
don’t become indisposed
or decomposed
suppose you

tether yourself to God
in
   highs
                A N D
                             lows

Like your way of thinking, Kim - "You can get carried away with euphoria, drop quickly to dysphoria land on the pavement with glass" very bold and passionate beginning lines
